Intersectionality is a productive lens to view societies problems through. My experience is largely the same as yours, though slightly different circumstances.

Intersectionality is a productive lens to view societies problems through. My experience is largely the same as yours, though slightly different circumstances. The problem in a lot of online, and in real life, discussions is that the intersectional ideas people have been exposed to are through amateur activists who don't have a view on intersectionality beyond themselves. This isn't really new in social paradigms, to my knowledge, people often recognize the struggle of others definitionally but fail to recognize it in the person standing in front of them. The experience of which is probably not pleasant. You asked why people get triggered over this, this is my hypothesis. Don't take that for me not liking intersectionality.
